Question

Determine whether the vectors a and b are parallel. 
A) parallel 
B) not parallel

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine if two vectors are parallel, we need to check if one vector is a scalar multiple of the other vector. 
If we have vectors a and b, then they are parallel if there is some scalar k such that a = kb. 
Without information about vectors a and b, it is impossible to say for certain if they are parallel or not.
